Discuss these lyrics

[Kane Knight]

No, they're not mine, but I'm not initially posting the artist or title because I want the lyrics discussed without any such context.

Neither side will win, all are sure to fail
But not Joining in is an act of betrayal
Betrayal to your king, and all who fought before
The noblest of things is to die in their war

Neither should begin for everyone will lose
Soldiers of tin with everything to prove
Who do we oppose? And What do we defend?
Honor I suppose

End your simple day with this simple prayer
Pray they're okay and in the Lord's care
Pray they return with their faculty
And one day we learn of war's futility

End your simple day with this simple song
Sing pain away, hope all are strong
Hope they return to live happily
And one day we learn of war's futility

Neither side will win for nothing will be gained
Notify next of kin, Have the casualty claimed
Those are words of kings, Commanders and Chiefs
You hear the same sort of things from scoundrels and thieves

Neither Should begin, for what a price we pay
Soldiers of tin being blown away

Not a lot of grace, nor majesty
A human disgrace

End your simple day with this simple prayer
Pray they're okay and in the Lord's care
Pray they return with their faculty
And one day we learn of war's futility

End your simple day with this simple song
Sing pain away, hope all are strong
Hope they return to their family
And one day we learn of war's futility

Neither side will win, all are sure to fail
But not Joining in is an act of betrayal
Betrayal to your king, and all who fought before
The noblest of things is to die in their war

Neither should begin for everyone will lose
Soldiers of tin wither everything to prove
Who do we oppose? And What do we defend?

The bars aren't exact as listed in the liner notes, but they are lyrically accurate and broken as phrased on the record.

-EDIT-

And now it should all be spelled properly. I transcribed it into a .txt doc, so no spellcheck.
